Sunlight through the leaves and that perfect autumn feeling - nothing quite like it! Cozy sweater, trusty boots, and maybe just a little bit of magic brewing... Feeling myself today, definitely embrac...
The wool feels scratchy tonight, doesn't it? Not an awful scratch, not really - more like memory itself, sometimes brittle, often comforting. It’s been years since anyone noticed the little prickle, hasn't it? Just… assumed we liked it. We always did, didn’t we? This skirt, for instance, has seen its share of winters.
